Surgery is over

Surgery went well. Behind schedule, so it's nearly 3:00 now. He'll have be in room 6037 around 4:30. Expecting to be released mid-morning tomorrow.
He's in a white cast for now. Stitches are on the inside and the wound (wound?? I say cut! 3" worth.) is glued shut. That will keep out bacteria and such better than stitches or staples and if some water happened to get down in it from a shower, it would not be a big deal. Just dry the cast with a hair dryer!
He'll see Dr. F in 10 days and get a new cast.
In about 8 weeks he'll move to a walking boot and one crutch.
